Senators get third straight win with 5-2 victory over Oilers

in Ottawa Senators game recaps
Email
PrintThe Senators earned their third straight win tonight over the Oilers, but I use the term "earned" loosely. The Senators only had 16 shots on goal, but made the most of their chances by burying 5 of those shots.
Things looked grim to start the game, as the Oilers came out with far more energy than the Sens. The Kid Line of Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was all over the Senators for the first few shifts, and Ottawa only managed to stay in the game thanks to several stunning saves from Craig Anderson.
The Senators got on the board first with a goal from Colin Greening on the team's first shot, which was followed just nine seconds later with a goal from Kaspars Daugavins on the team's second shot. The Senators made it 3-0 later in the period on a Milan Michalek goal that came right off the face-off, giving the Senators a comfortable lead to end the first period.
The Oilers made it a 3-1 game early in the second period, when Anton Lander scored short-handed for his first NHL goal. However, the Senators would expand their lead back to three when Jesse Winchester sniped one home on a breakaway to make the game 4-1.
The Senators received an unexpected goal from Zenon Konopka in the third period to give the Sens a 5-1 advantage, and the Sens held on to win 5-2.
Sens Hero: Oilers Goaltenders
Nikolai Khabibulin made 4 saves on 7 shots, good for a .571 save percentage before getting pulled after the first period. He was relieved by Devan Dubnyk, who allowed 2 goals on 9 shots.
Sens Hero: Craig Anderson
Normally, a .917 save percentage isn't worthy of a hero nomination, but Anderson gets it here because if he hadn't started the game with a series of spectacular saves, I'm almost certain that the Senators would have lost this game. He made the saves he had to, which allowed the Senators to get some lucky bounces and get the win. You also can't fault him on the two goals against -- one was a perfect shot from Lander, while the other was a screened shot where Ryan Smyth was pushing Anderson back into his net.
Sens Hero: Jason Spezza, Milan Michalek, and Colin Greening
The Greening-Spezza-Michalek line hit a bit of a dry spell lately, but they were back at it tonight, scoring two of the Senators' goals. Michalek had a goal and an assist, Spezza had two assists, and Greening had four hits and the game's first goal. Spezza was particularly impressive, as he led the team in shots and created countless chances with some slick stickwork tonight.
Random Notes:
- Stephane Da Costa was 1 for 16 in the face off circle tonight.
- Filip Kuba was a +3, the best plus/minus of any player.
- Erik Karlsson and Sergei Gonchar led the team in time on ice with just over 26 minutes each.
- Zenon Konopka and Bobby Butler had the least time on ice with 11:05 and 11:20, respectively.
- The Senators got goals from their first, third, and fourth lines. Only the Foligno - Da Costa - Alfredsson failed to hit the score sheet.
- Chris Phillips left the game in the third period with an undisclosed injury. It's not believed to be serious, and he should be in the lineup on Sunday.

Winchester-Konopka-Butler
Those guys have been producing lately and their ice time is starting to show it. Over 11 minutes tonight compared to many games where they have been in the 6-8 minute range. Seems like MacLean is giving them a few extra shifts when they show him something.
MacLean doesn't seem to have a problem rewarding the players that produce
I, for one, would LOVE to roll four lines. I think that’s a key to success in the NHL.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Yeah, there's a much more equitable distribution of ice time
I bet if you only factored in even-strength time, the four lines wouldn’t be far off from one another.

Da Costa's face-offs
Now I am not one to overstate the importance of winning face-offs, but 1 for 16? Can anyone recall someone taking that many face-offs and being so brutal?

It’s a red flag for me.
We had Konopka out there for Zibanejad’s faceoffs… maybe we need to think about doing the same thing for Da Costa.

by Mark Parisi on Nov 18, 2011 10:04 AM EST up reply actions
He needs a lot of practice
Faceoffs have as much to do with strength and cheating as they do with timing; I think he’s just got to spend some time working with Spezza in practice learning the tricks of the trade in the NHL. It’s harder to win a draw here than in college, and that could be a difference he wasn’t expecting to be so great.
In the meantime, he’s on a line with Foligno; have Foggie take the draws.

by Peter Raaymakers on Nov 18, 2011 10:17 AM EST up reply actions
Hard to believe that Maclean continues to go to DeCosta after 17 draws with him only winning 1….overall at 33% that is less than average for a 2nd line center, you will likely see Konopka return to the role he had with NYI last year and start taking def zone draws with the second line…he went 4 for 5 and overall is 58% tops on the team, seems DeCosta is running out of time to prove he should stay when Neil and definitely Regin returns. Last few games are showing he is definitely not ready yet…
Yes, but then we're stuck with Konopka on the ice against the opposition 2nd line in the defensive zone
Seriously. The Corsi stats tell a solid story on this one:
Relative teammate corsi: 1.792 (3rd highest on the team)
Relative opponent corsi: -0.094 (5th lowest on the team)
Konopka’s relative corsi: -10.3 (5th worst, and everyone below him is a rookie)
Combined, that makes for the 2nd softest assignment any Sens player has had this season. And the 5th worst defensive performance. This is not a guy you want to put up against tougher opponents in the defensive zone!
Even if the intent is to win the faceoff and get off as fast as possible?
That’s how he was used with Zibanejad.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
by Mark Parisi on Nov 18, 2011 12:51 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah but even if he wins the face-off 60% of the time, that’s still 40% of the time with a defensive liability in his own zone against a 2nd line.
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
Is there a way to actually measure his Corsi for the first 9 games where he took defensive zone faceoffs?
I’m curious if he turned out to be a liability when he was used in that role earlier in the year.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Not easily
Unless you’ve got a game-by-game database of the relevant stats for just about the entire league.
Someday….
That sucks
But I can’t help feeling that having him win a faceoff and be a liability is better than having Da Costa lose a faceoff and have to muscle someone off the puck to get it back.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Well, we can keep an eye on it
And if his average keeps dropping, we can reasonably assume that it was better in the first 9 games.
Here you go - all data for 5-on-5
Konopka played 6 of the 9 games that Zibanejad played:
His raw Corsi was -2 and he was on for 17 defensive zone face-offs and 14 offensive zone face-offs for a defensive zone start of 54.8%. When adjusting for zone-starts, the raw Corsi is +0.4
Since Zibanejad left, Konopka has played 8 games:
His raw was +2 in those 8 games and he was on for 23 defensive zone face-offs and 15 offensive zone face-offs for a defensive zone start of 60.5% When adjusting for zone starts, his raw Corsi is +7.6
Now keep in mind these are absolute raw corsi, not per 60 minutes. His relative Corsi would be well into the negatives I suspect because for the season, the Sens are a +9.65 per 60 minutes when Konopka isn’t on the ice.

He’s defensively decent, chucks knucks, a faceoff beastmaster, the best interview on the team and has chipped in a couple goals to boot.
Add that to his help in getting the Ottawa 67’s a Memorial Cup win in ’99 and #28 is fine by me.

We have no problem with people liking Konopka. You like whichever player you’d like to like! I can certainly see the value based on the contributions you outline.
However, no matter how much you like Konopka, don’t feel the need to come to his defence every single time someone slams him. Especially when the slams are well-reasoned. (I’m not saying you would do this, I’m just saying that another community member has.)

Yeah his fights also aren't all that entertaining
And they never seem to have an effect on the team.

Well, he can hug whomever he wants, as far as I'm concerned
I don’t need a fight to be entertaining to consider it meaningful.
But yeah, his fights never seem to give his teammates any kind of lift.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Well
You’ve got to admit that it’d be awesome if he managed to get Kessel or Iginla or even Lucic to fight him – getting those guys off the ice for 5 min would be well worth it, regardless of timing or whether it energizes the team or anything. Long shot, but it’d be awesome.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I enjoyed Ruutu
But people have told me I’m a bit of a pest when I play hockey. So maybe I’m just biased. Still, I enjoyed Ruutu’s pestiness more than I enjoy Neil’s, because it seemed so much more conniving.

You're talking about two different kinds of players, though.
A lot of the agitators (like Ruutu, Avery, etc) piss off the other team but don’t drop the gloves often enough to be labelled fighters. How many times do you remember Ruutu fighting when he was here? I can’t think of a single instance off the top of my head.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Or at least timed them better
I figure that the players we’d like ZKon to take out of the lineup are generally too smart to actually drop the gloves with him, so I’m okay with him fighting the likes of Avery. But his timing seems to be horrible.
Oh Captain, my Captain!

Karlsson doesn’t necessarily need to score goals to help the team. I’ll take the 17 goals he’s helped generate all day long if that means he’s not a goal-scorer. He’s still an offensive catalyst.
And getting goals from your fourth line is a positive no matter how you look at it.

So, if you take the number of goals scored by Michalek so far this season (12), and divide it by the number of goals scored by Heatley so far this season (5), you get 2.4
Michalek projection for the season: 49
Heatley projection for the season: 22
